If peoole sets up their own instances with 100% LLM bots how would we even know they are bots to defederate? The AIs are too realistic. Only giveaway would be the ones dumb enough to make accounts post/comment 24/7 with seconds between each comment.
Right now, it’s still possible to realize texts are written by llms, due to style and mistakes, but it can become a serious problem in the near future, and we are kind of ignoring it, because no one is preparing in any way.
Ah, ok, 27% -> 19%, an 8% YoY drop, and the numbers were obtained using identical methodologies across multiple years. Yeah, I agree, seems to check out.
Still, there are definitely a shitload more bots than there were before.
Are there more bots or does it just seem that way because there are fewer people? I don’t ask to be snarky, I’m legitimately curious what the numbers were and are.
Wasn’t like one of his focuses going to be getting rid of bots? Did they just not do anything and the bots just invaded or did the bots just get better?
I think the focus on bots was primarily used in an attempt to back out of the deal. It was never an issue, especially if it inflated his ego by pumping up his account.
How much did human usage drop? Because there are a shitload more bots on twitter nowadays than there were in the years before he took over.
Any time something gets too big it gets bots. Lemmy will be the same. We will see instances getting un-federated who cannot manage the spam.
Fuck Elon though
Dead internet theory, summed up in a sentence

I imagine the content would be bad, which is the whole reason an instance would become defederated.
This should be human usage - the user survey was done by phone.

He got rid of like 80% of the staff. I doubt he has a functional team who can even tackle the problem.
I suspect even more than 30%, and by a lot. Nearly all of the communities that once thrived seem to be dead. It feels very empty.
